Good thing you missed the "happy" ending, which is the BBs decide to do oldies tours because of endless summer.

And production aside, I’d so much rather hear a 14 year old David Marks shred some guitar on Chug-a-lug than hear a 51 year old Mike Love sing about bangin some chick in a swimming pool.-rab2591

They threw in a few negative Mike moments (I think he angrily throws a reclining chair in the presence of his wife at one point) just, it seems, to be able to later claim that it wasn't entirely a hatchet job against Brian.

The Van Dyke characterization is appalling and while Mike may not have been directly involved in the way he was written in the film, it is certainly the case that the things that were said about him and Smile over the years by Mike contributed to that portrayal.
